A nice, new, fresh album released by Living With The Storm is topic of conversation for today!
Living With The Storm is the solo project of Jim Bryant, and he is out creating new music of electronic, trip-hop, and progressive rock. In the past two years, Jim has already released two different EPs and two albums, “Memoria” being the second one!
“Memoria” is a twelve-song album, that was released on the 23rd of January, this year. The album has a wide range of variety with the shortest track, “A March Down Memory Lane”, being only 54 seconds long and the longest one, “When The Stone Breaks, Its Still Stone”, being 8 minutes and 29 seconds.
This is a very ambient album, full of mystery, and you will definitely find yourself engrossed for the entire of the album.
Some of the tracks do not include vocals, and are purely just music, like “A March Down Memory Lane” and “Memoria II (Canalside).”
Every track is so unique, therefore picking out your favourite of the collection is incredibly hard. For me, my favourite track has got to be, “A London Silence”. This song is quite dark, however the music is so engrossing. The vocals that are included in this track are also fantastic. He clearly has some power behind his voice and sings exceptionally well!
In this whole album there are four “Memoria” different tracks, “Memoria I (In Memoria)”, “Memoria II (Canalside)”, “Memoria III (Midnight)” and “Memoria IV (Submerged)”. All these tracks are relatively short, and definitely very interesting!
I find it difficult to pinpoint an exact genre that this album comes under, as “Memoria” includes experimental electronics, ambient pop, soundscapes, and ideas that are very euphoric!
This is a brilliant album, full of interesting musical pieces that seem to tell a story. Each song has its own specialties, some being amazing vocals, and some being incredible instrumentals, however the album as a whole is just brilliant! “Memoria” is available across different music platforms now and you should undoubtedly give it a listen to!
